Monday November 18th - Wisconsin Fast Plants

Students were focused and working hard today as every science group built a planter and sowed both Wisconsin Fast Plants and radish seeds. We will be using these plants to examine the role of water and minerals in the growing system, look at at plant's life cycle, and explore the plant's connection to the cabbage white butterfly. We're hoping to see Fast Plant sprouts by the end of this week!

Please go to this link to read more about Wisconsin Fast Plants. Students should be reading "Nutritional Needs of Plants" on pages 47-49.

Thursday September 26th - "Sea" Trials for the Aluminum Boat Lab

Students were immersed in the study of buoyancy.

Students created great designs, constructed amazing boats and had lots of fun!

Here are some photos from todays's class!

Tonight they will be going back to the drawing board.   They will reflect on their observations, analyze their results and modifying their designs.  Re-testing will occur tomorrow!
